When only Alina and Gary were left in the room, Alina slowly spoke:
"Chief Gary, your body..."
Elina gritted her teeth and didn't say anything else because it was too cruel.
Just now, she used the magic of dawn to thoroughly examine the body of Village Chief Gary, and it could be said that she was at the end of her rope.
To be honest, it's a miracle that Village Chief Gary's health can hold on until now.
"Lady Elina, you don't need to say anything more. I know everything. I know my own body very well."
As he spoke, Village Chief Gary struggled to sit up. Seeing this, Elena hurried forward and helped him up, leaning him against the head of the bed.
"Ahem, actually I felt it two months ago that my life might be coming to an end."
Village Chief Gary coughed twice and spoke with some difficulty.
"Village Chief Gary, you... I'm sorry, I didn't think of this at the beginning."
Elina wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't think of anything to say, so she could only lower her head and apologize quietly.
When she renovated Yas Village, she thought of everything except that the village chief, Gary, was a man in his seventies.
Such an ordinary old man is already considered old in the human race's domain, let alone in the cruel outside world.
Moreover, with the continuous expansion of Yas City and the increasing business of affairs, more and more pressure is placed on the shoulders of Village Chief Gary.
The powerful pressure quickly drained the last bit of vitality from Village Chief Gary's body.
The reason why he was able to hold on until now was entirely due to his inner courage, a courage that he dared not let down Elena and the city of Yas.
But this afternoon, with the return of Elena, his anger was released, and his body naturally began to collapse.
No wonder Elena felt something was wrong when she saw him at noon.
But at the time, Elena didn't expect it to be so serious.
In other words, at this moment, Village Chief Gary has begun the countdown of his life.
Although Elina can use the magic of dawn to delay the death of Village Chief Gary as much as possible, this is a loss of vitality and a natural death, and even she can't do anything about it.
Life has birth and death, everything has a beginning and an end.
This is the law of nature and no one can change it.
"Lady Elina, please raise your head. Why are you apologizing? If it weren't for you, I would have died on that morning half a year ago."
"I have seen too much death and experienced too many wars in my life, but I met you and saw the city of Yas in this last part of my journey. This is my greatest luck. Compared with my friends who have long passed away, my life has been complete and I have no regrets. I am willing to burn myself for such a home and such a city."
Village Chief Gary said this with a gleam in his eyes.
That light was full of hope and longing, as if the village chief Gary was not a seriously ill old man at this moment, but a young man who had just begun to create his own life.
"Ah, Yas City, what a great city! It carries the hopes of all refugees and half-bloods from outside the region. I believe that one day it will grow up and become a country that neither Dawn nor Eternal Night dares to underestimate."
"Lady Elina, this dream and this goal are brought to us by you. You have shown us a brand new path. So, from now on, please lead them forward and create a home of our dreams, a country that belongs only to us."
As he spoke, Village Chief Gary's gaze towards Elena became fiery, and he stretched out his hand as if he wanted to touch the distant future.
In the future, refugee children will no longer have to suffer the hardships of war, and mixed-race children will no longer be labeled as aliens and hunted down.
Like the children in the area, they can sit quietly in the classroom and receive a professional and comprehensive education. They can also have a wonderful life without having to be on the run every day.
If such a future could really be created, Village Chief Gary would be happy to serve as a stepping stone.
After hearing what Village Chief Gary said, Elina fell silent.
She had not imagined that the city she had built out of compassion would cost these people so much to develop and maintain.
The old village chief in front of him has completely contributed everything he has to the city of Yas, all for the sake of preventing future refugees from experiencing the hardships that their generation experienced.
Even though he can't see this future, he still strives for it.
"Village Chief Gary, you should have a good rest."
Having said that, there is nothing more to say.
Before leaving, Elena bowed deeply to Gary, which was her highest respect for the old man.
"Squeak~"
Elina closed the small wooden door and when she came out she found that the morning sun had slowly risen. When the first ray of sunlight shone on Yas City, the entire city seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light, full of sacredness.
"call."
Elina took a deep breath and decided to develop Yas City into a country independent of the two major forces, which only belonged to refugees and mixed-bloods!

Chapter 68: The Horn of a New Era
Despite Village Chief Gary's condition, Alina did not spread according to his wishes.
But looking at the increasingly thin face of Village Chief Gary, everyone made the worst plans in their hearts. Even Leah had realized something and looked sad.
With the help of Elina, Village Chief Gary managed to regain some energy. Although many people asked him to rest more, he still forced himself to get up and work.
Because there are still many matters that need to be handed over by him personally.
During the handover work over the past few days, Elina discovered how complicated the affairs of the village chief Gary, who was already in his seventies, were.
Village chief Gary has to personally review almost everything in the entire city of Yas, whether it is finance, land, population, military, or even the movements of the surrounding dark races, he has to know it all.
Village chief Gary suffered countless hidden injuries when he was young, and he is still so tired in his old age. How could his body bear it?
Elina sighed secretly.
She suddenly realized that without the existence of Village Chief Gary, this city would never have been able to develop as healthily as it is now.
But what to do next is indeed a headache for her.
At the beginning, we were focused on training professionals and the military, but forgot about the training of administrative personnel.
If she were asked to handle all these things, she wouldn't be able to do it.
It seems that before the local administrative personnel are trained, we have to hire some foreign aid first...
Looking at the pile of documents on her desk, Elena was lost in thought.
Thinking of this, Elena wrote a letter without any hesitation and sent it to the Sub-Saint Fortress.
There may not be many people who can handle government affairs in Yas City, but there are quite a few in Yashen Fortress.
There are countless people who do not have the talent to become professionals but turn to politics.
Moreover, the human race has always attached great importance to the cultivation of talents in this area. I believe that Village Chief Duncan will give her enough help in this matter.
Of course, this letter also has another purpose, which is to let Lamia, Margaret and all the students in Class D rush to Yas City immediately.
Because a plan has already formed in Elena's mind.
She needs to test the feasibility of this plan first.
A few days later, the letter was delivered to Margaret and Duncan.
When Margaret saw the letter, she said nothing and took everyone, including Lamia, to follow the Cap Chamber of Commerce's convoy to Yas City.
As soon as Duncan received Elena's letter, he organized a group of very excellent political talents to go to Yas City with Margaret and Lamia.
In addition to temporarily handling the government affairs of Yas City, these people's past tasks also require the training of local talents in Yas City, and then gradually transfer the government affairs out. Only in this way can the entire Yas City develop healthily.
Duncan did this partly for Elena, but more importantly for the entire human race.
Because he knew very well how important it was to have a force that could unite the refugees from outside the territory and the mixed-bloods.
If successful, it will completely end the endless fighting outside the domain.
In this way, a barrier will appear between eternal night and dawn. With the buffer of this barrier, the frequency of war will be greatly reduced.
But this road is not easy to walk on, and it may even be as difficult as the road that the first ancestor took.
Little Elena, can you really succeed?
Duncan stood on the top of the palace, looking at the endless outside world with some worry.
······
"Outside the domain, from east to west, across the entire continent, between Dawn and Eternal Night, there is a total of more than 29 million square kilometers of land. In terms of terrain, whether it is mountains, plains, rivers, lakes, or seas, it has everything. In terms of area, it is one-third of Dawn and one-quarter of Eternal Night. Do you know who is the strongest in this area?"
In the square of Yas City, Elina was pointing at a map of the continent.
Elina today is a little different from before. Today she is not wearing that beautiful long dress, but a suit of silver armor. She looks like a king in armor going into battle.
Elina stood on the stage, and below the stage, either sitting or standing, were almost all the citizens of Yas City.
Even Village Chief Gary sat next to Leah, looking somewhat weak.
"It's dawn!" someone shouted loudly.
"How could it be Dawn? I think Eternal Night is stronger." Another person quickly retorted.
"Well, I think both parties should be similar, otherwise they wouldn't have been stuck in this damn place for so many years."
After hearing Elina's question, those people rushed to speak. After all, they grew up here since childhood, and no one had more say than them about the situation outside the domain.
At this moment, only the village chief sat there with a painful look on his face, saying nothing, as if he was sad about these answers.
After listening to the speeches of the people below, Elina smiled and shook her head, saying:
"What you said makes sense, but it's all wrong. Let me tell you who is the strongest here."
As she spoke, Elina wrote the words "Refugee" and "Half-blood" in large letters on a blackboard.
Seeing this, some people were stunned, because in their minds, refugees and half-bloods should be the weakest.
Only Village Chief Gary smiled after seeing these two words.
"In every corner of this vast area, there are astonishing numbers of refugees and half-breeds. They are usually inconspicuous, like grass, and are at the mercy of others. Both the dawn and the eternal night seem to be arrogantly suppressing them. They are lowly and humble. Even if thousands of them die, they will not arouse sympathy from either the dawn or the eternal night."
Elina's voice seemed very contagious. After hearing her words, those who participated in the meeting all lowered their heads silently, with a hint of anger in their eyes.
Because what Elina said was all true. This was the true portrayal of the refugees and mixed-race people from outside the territory.
Many of you here have just experienced the separation of life and death not long ago. If you had not come to Yas City, they would not even realize how precious life is.
"But, have you ever thought about how many refugees and half-bloods there have been in this land over the years? Once they unite and become a force, how terrifying they will be. By then, the entire Outer Domain will be changed. The Outer Domain of darkness, death, and war will be gone forever, and in its place will be a new country, a new home!"
Just when everyone was in low spirits, Elina suddenly changed the subject and proposed a path that no one had ever dared to imagine before.
This voice was like a loud bell, waking up everyone present.
Over the years, people living outside the territory have become accustomed to death, accustomed to praying, accustomed to fleeing, and they have long become numb.
But they never thought that one day, someone would tell them not to kneel, but to stand up and unite to fight for everything that should belong to them!
"I am willing to make Yas City a beacon of light and hope. I am also willing to lead you to create this ideal country! Are you willing?!"
At the end of her words, Elina raised the sword in her hand high. She stood there, a girl who looked like an angel, but at this moment she was like an extremely majestic king, possessing the innate kingly temperament.
Elina's words made all the citizens of Yas City feel their breathing quicken.
To be honest, they didn't have this idea before. They thought that as long as they could have a city to live in, it would be enough, and they didn't think too much about it.
But today, maybe it was Elina's strength that gave them confidence, or maybe years of repression finally erupted at this moment.
Except for some of the management of Yas City who remained calm, the ordinary citizens raised their hands and shouted with red faces:
"We are willing! We are willing to follow Lady Elina!!"
Those citizens didn't say any nice words, they just used their fanatical actions to show their determination.
"so good."
Looking at the excited citizens around him, Village Chief Gary smiled with satisfaction.
He saw it, he finally saw it, and he saw this scene before he died.
From now on, the city of Yas will be completely renewed. It will no longer be just a city or a place name, but a belief, a flag, a holy place longed for by all refugees and mixed-race people from outside the region.
And all this can only be done by that girl, that angelic girl standing on the stage.
Village chief Gary sat on a chair with a smile on his face and passed away suddenly amid the cheers of the people around him.
Before he died, an extremely beautiful picture seemed to appear before his eyes.
The outside world has become a paradise. People living here no longer have to endure hunger and cold winters, and their children will have an equally happy childhood.
